Looking for humans being spawned.

[Austin]

I am using this to find hostages being spawned.

int Spawn_post(edict_t *pent)
{
	// are we spawning a hostage ?
	if (strcmp (STRING (pent->v.classname), "hostage_entity") == 0)
...

How do I change this to look for human players being spawned?

tracking ClientConnect() or ClientPutInServer()?

No, i need to catch them at Spawn_post()
Because I will be tweaking the health of humans when they respawn at round start.

I guess I can simply put in log messages and look for what is obviously humans spawning, but I thought someone might know the entity type for humans/players..

the entity name of players is "player". However I don't think the DispatchSpawn() function will get called at each round.

If this is a deathmatch mod... I guess you could just continuously poll through each player and check if they died, set a flag, wait till they aren't dead anymore, et voila they've respawned.

If it's round based..
you need to know how to catch a new round and call your function on every player after the round starts.

More logically, check for the time when the player entity gets

1°) teleported to another location
2°) rendered visible again

That will mean a "spawn".
